Friday August 11: Orioles visit Seattle

[Gurgi]

That was a horrible pitch.  Dead center.

[MDK02]

That could be enough with how good their pitching is. Not good. All 3 batters have drilled the ball so far.

Gibson vs Castillo.  Sick of watching these SP pitching talent mismatches.  GRod has been looking like a potential ace recently, but this org’s refusal / inability to sign, develop or trade for a true TOR arm is quite depressing sometimes.  Well, pray to the god of BABIP I guess.

Tomorrow’s matchup is even worse. 

[Chavez Ravine]

Cedric’s play got a “Holly Smokes!” out of Rick Rizzs.

Boy, the Mariners are NOT fooled by any pitch from Gibson...everything stung...this could be a very bad series for us...

Roy... come on. I know you are reactionary but the series isn't even an inning long yet.

[Roy Firestone]

Gibson looks lousy so far...we need innings from him...

[Moose Milligan]

Ass.

[Rbiggs2525]

Gonna need to figure it out soon. He has only shown a thigh high fastball for a strike.

[SteveA]

Needed that DP.

Well, we've seen Oriole pitchers get better after a rough first inning a lot this year.  Hope we see it again tonight.

[tntoriole]

Gibson is what he is …mediocre

I just dont like the pitching matchups in this series...sorry...but Gibson didnt look good at all coming out of the first, balls hit really hard...

[Rbiggs2525]

Keep taking pitches and having long AB’s.

Forgot about Irvin’s spot start.  I think the Ms generally hit him well when he was with OAK.  Should be fun.

[justD]

I forgot they have that cool camera-on-a-wire at this ballpark.  I wonder if we'll be allowed to use it, like we did just then during the break?
